Overview
The Losi 1/28 Micro-T 2WD Stadium Truck RTR represents the triumphant return of one of RC racing's most iconic platforms. Originally introduced twenty years ago, Losi micro RC vehicles earned legendary status by delivering championship-level performance at an unbeatable price point, attracting hobbyists of all ages and skill levels into the sport. Now, by popular demand, these beloved micros are back and taking the RC hobby by storm once again. The 1/28 Micro-T stadium truck combines authentic Team Losi Racing (TLR) 2023 IFMAR World Champion-inspired design with exceptional engineering and quality components, proving conclusively that big performance absolutely can come in small packages.
This is not a toy—it is a genuine ready to run RC car UK that arrives fully assembled and equipped with everything needed to start racing within the hour. Whether you are a beginner exploring the RC hobby for the first time, a young driver learning control skills, or an experienced enthusiast who values affordability and convenience, the Micro-T stadium truck delivers pure racing fun without compromise. The compact 1/28 scale size makes it perfect for racing almost anywhere: indoors in your living room, outdoors on a paved driveway, or at your local park. Yet despite its diminutive dimensions, it captures all the excitement, thrills and authentic stadium truck styling of much larger RC vehicles.
What truly sets the Losi Micro-T apart is its uncompromising engineering at every level. Losi is the only manufacturer offering an aluminium chassis in the micro RC segment—a feature that dramatically improves rigidity and durability compared to plastic alternatives. The chassis features championship-inspired front caster kick and side bends that create a strong, rigid foundation capable of withstanding jumps and aggressive driving with ease. Combined with tunable oil-filled shocks, a powerful brushed motor, Spektrum electronics, and professional Pro-Line Racing bodywork, this is a complete racing platform, not a compromise. The included Spektrum SLT2 transmitter even features an ingenious Rookie Mode, allowing you to limit top speed to 50% or 75% of full capability—ideal for safely teaching young or inexperienced drivers without sacrificing the thrill of genuine RC racing.
Key Features
- TLR World Champion Inspired Design — The Micro-T stadium truck is directly inspired by a championship-winning Team Losi Racing buggy that won the 2023 IFMAR World Championship, ensuring you are driving a vehicle based on genuine racing pedigree and proven performance principles rather than generic hobby-grade engineering.
- Black-Anodised Aluminium Chassis — Losi is the only manufacturer offering an aluminium chassis in the micro RC market, providing superior rigidity and strength compared to plastic alternatives, with front caster kick and side bends engineered for strength, stability and jump capability.
- Oil-Filled Adjustable Shocks — The Micro-T includes tunable oil-filled shocks with adjustable pre-load clips, allowing you to dial in the perfect handling balance for different track conditions and driving styles, with optional shock fluid and springs available for further tuning and performance optimisation.
- Exceptional Top Speed Performance — Capable of reaching speeds exceeding 13 mph, this is absolutely insane for a 1/28 scale micro vehicle and delivers genuine racing thrills comparable to much larger RC stadium trucks and short course trucks.
- Rookie Mode Speed Governor — The included Spektrum SLT2 transmitter features a simple throttle-limiting switch on the back that restricts speed to either 50% or 75% of full capability, perfect for young drivers to learn control skills safely without overwhelming them, yet still experiencing real RC racing excitement.
- Spektrum SLT2 2.4GHz Radio System — The interference-resistant 2.4GHz digital radio allows unlimited simultaneous drivers without signal conflicts or frequency management headaches, with adjustable steering and throttle controls to fine-tune responsiveness to your individual driving style.
- Fully Proportional Electronics — The integrated Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 ESC and receiver provides completely proportional control, meaning every subtle input on the transmitter is instantly reflected in speed and steering response, keeping you in complete command of the vehicle at all times.
- Exceptional Runtime Performance — The included 350mAh 7.4V 2S LiPo battery delivers over 25 minutes of continuous nonstop racing time, compared to just 8 minutes typical of most ready to run RC vehicles, allowing extended play sessions without constant battery swaps.
- Rapid USB-C Fast Charging — The included Spektrum USB-C charger fully recharges the battery in less than one hour, compared to 2-5 hours required by standard RTR chargers, meaning you can charge during lunch and be racing again within 60 minutes.
- Pro-Line Racing OE Components — The body, wheels and tyres are the exact same professional-grade designs found on racetracks around the world, delivering authentic appearance and genuine performance rather than budget hobby-grade plastics.
- Complete Ready to Run Package — Absolutely no additional purchases are needed; the Micro-T arrives fully assembled with battery, charger, transmitter, receiver, motor, servo and all accessories included, allowing you to open the box, charge the battery and start racing in under an hour.
- Upgradeable Platform — A comprehensive line of official Losi option parts is available for customisation, tuning and performance upgrades, including alternative shocks, springs, shock fluids, linkages and chassis protectors, allowing you to progressively upgrade as your skills develop.
- Collect Multiple Models — Thanks to the affordable price point, many enthusiasts purchase multiple Micro-T units for different purposes: one for racing, one for display, and one for testing alternative setups and tuning configurations.
Technical Performance
The Losi Micro-T 2WD stadium truck represents serious engineering packed into an impressively compact 1/28 scale platform measuring just 145mm long, 109mm wide and 53mm tall, with a 4-inch wheelbase providing balanced handling characteristics. Despite its tiny footprint, the complete ready to run package weighs only 158 grams with battery installed, yet delivers genuine racing performance through a purpose-built drivetrain featuring a powerful 65T brushed motor coupled to a Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 integrated ESC and receiver unit providing fully proportional control. The 2WD drivetrain with forward, brake and reverse gearing delivers predictable, controllable handling ideal for learning RC driving skills whilst remaining capable enough for experienced drivers to enjoy genuine competition. The platform is powered by a high-performance Spektrum 7.4V 350mAh 2S LiPo battery with 30C discharge rating and PH 2.0 connector, which the included 0.5 amp USB-C charger can fully recharge in under one hour. This battery supplies over 25 minutes of sustained runtime, dramatically exceeding the 8-minute norm for most ready to run vehicles, enabling extended play sessions and genuine racing fun. The 0.3 MOD differential and gear drive system is optimised for the micro scale, delivering responsive handling and consistent performance across varied surfaces and track conditions. The black-anodised aluminium chassis provides the rigid foundation essential for reliable performance, whilst the integrated oil-filled shocks with tunable pre-load clips handle both smooth surfaces and small jumps with composure. Construction quality throughout reflects Losi's championship heritage; this is not a plastic toy but a genuine entry-level racing platform suitable for developing real RC driving skills that translate directly to larger vehicles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Losi Micro-T 2WD stadium truck suitable for beginners and children? — Absolutely yes. The Micro-T is specifically designed as an entry-level RC racing platform with no assembly required, arriving fully ready to run. The included Spektrum SLT2 transmitter features Rookie Mode, which limits top speed to either 50% or 75% of full capability using a simple switch on the transmitter back, allowing young and inexperienced drivers to learn control skills safely at their own comfortable pace without being overwhelmed by speed. The compact size and responsive handling also make it forgiving and confidence-building for first-time RC drivers, whilst the genuine racing heritage and performance mean they won't outgrow it quickly.
- What battery does the Micro-T need and how long does it last? — The Micro-T uses a 7.4V 350mAh 2S LiPo battery with 30C discharge rating and PH 2.0 connector, which is included in the box. This battery delivers over 25 minutes of continuous runtime, compared to just 8 minutes typical of most ready to run vehicles. The included 0.5 amp USB-C charger can fully recharge the battery in under one hour, much faster than the 2-5 hours required by standard RTR chargers, meaning you can charge during a lunch break and be racing again shortly after. Spare batteries are available for purchase if you want multiple packs for extended play sessions.
- How fast does the Losi Micro-T go? — The Micro-T is capable of reaching top speeds exceeding 13 mph, which is absolutely insane for a 1/28 scale micro vehicle and delivers genuine racing thrills. However, the included Spektrum SLT2 transmitter features a Rookie Mode that lets you limit speed to 50% or 75% of full capability using a simple switch on the transmitter back, ideal for young drivers learning control skills or for practice sessions where lower speeds provide better learning opportunities.
- Where can I race the Micro-T? — The compact 1/28 scale size means you can race the Micro-T almost anywhere: indoors in your living room, on a paved driveway, at a local park, or outdoors on smooth surfaces. Unlike larger RC vehicles that require dedicated track space, the Micro-T's small footprint makes it perfect for casual racing with friends and family in accessible locations, a major advantage for UK hobbyists without access to permanent RC racing facilities.
- Is the Micro-T waterproof or weatherproof? — The Micro-T is not specifically rated as waterproof and should not be submerged or deliberately driven through water. However, it is robust enough for damp outdoor conditions and light rain. For wet weather play, we recommend checking the instruction manual for specific guidance or contacting our team.
- What makes the Losi Micro-T different from other micro RC vehicles? — Losi is the only manufacturer offering an aluminium chassis in the micro RC segment; most competitors use plastic, which is weaker and less durable. The Micro-T features black-anodised aluminium construction with championship-proven design directly inspired by a 2023 IFMAR World Champion Team Losi Racing buggy. It also includes oil-filled adjustable shocks (tunable with optional parts), a more powerful brushed motor, quality Spektrum electronics, Pro-Line Racing body and tyres, exceptional battery runtime (25+ minutes vs. 8 minutes typical), and a purpose-designed Spektrum SLT2 radio with Rookie Mode. The overall engineering quality and component specification is significantly superior to generic micro RC vehicles.
- Can I upgrade and modify the Micro-T? — Yes, absolutely. A comprehensive line of official Losi option parts is available for upgrades and tuning, including alternative shock springs, shock fluid for tuning suspension stiffness, adjustable pre-load clips, replacement tyres, optional linkages, and chassis protectors. As your skills develop and you want improved performance or customised handling, these parts allow progressive upgrades without needing to purchase an entirely new vehicle.
- What type of motor and ESC does it use? — The Micro-T is powered by a Losi 65T brushed motor, delivering consistent power and responsiveness ideal for learning and recreational racing. The integrated Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 ESC and receiver provides fully proportional speed and steering control with no modifications or tuning knowledge required—it works perfectly straight from the box.
- Does it include a transmitter and receiver? — Yes, the Micro-T is completely ready to run. It includes the Spektrum 2.4GHz SLT2 transmitter with Rookie Mode, Spektrum SLT 2-in-1 receiver and ESC integrated unit, plus four AA batteries for the transmitter, meaning you truly need only charge the vehicle battery and start racing.
- How does the Rookie Mode speed limiter work? — The Spektrum SLT2 transmitter features a simple switch on the back that limits throttle output to either 50% or 75% of full speed capability, allowing you to safely introduce young or inexperienced drivers to RC racing without overwhelming them, whilst still providing genuine exciting performance and teaching real control skills that translate to larger RC vehicles.
